Cls.e tl ' ria r Eight] THE LEDGER . Clifford Engle REALIZATION Clifford Engle The end of the term is here, and we hear the Seniors making the same old stereotyped remark that they sort of hate to leave the old school. Four years is a long time and our lives may be moulded into many shapes in that period. We chose this building to house us for our day ' s occu- pation for that time and accepted the instruction of one group of individuals for our learning. We have grown rather old in the school, it seems, and now it is our turn to go out into the business world and put into practice what we have learned. This op- portunity has been anticipated for many months and even years ; and now that it becomes realization, it seems to have lost much of its glow and color. School friends are, after all, real friends, and com- panions we have chosen here will have an influence on us for the rest of our lives. Business is a won- derful thing and yet on its threshold it seems like taking a step into arctic regions after our school life. No matter where we, as members of the June class, may go or what we may be doing, our mem- ories of school days shall always be pleasant and inspiring ones. MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS GLENN MARTIN Glenn has received his honorable discharge from C. H. S. He has risen rapidly from K. P. (Kommon Pupil) to the place as leader in the Hi Y. ' s. As a knight of the Square Table, or an organization otherwise known as the Student Body Council, he has proved his worth. He wears no lady ' s color, it ' s just ladies ' . ANNA BLACKLER After attending high school in Washington and Idaho, Anna has honored us by attending Commerce in her graduating year. Every year preceding this, her name has been on the honor roll. Besides possessing literary ability, she also possesses dramatic ability as she has taken part in plays at other schools. MARIE CLAUSEN She is shy and quiet, but she is also sociable and bright. A regular sport in the out-of-doors, a most desir- able student in her studies. Words cannot describe her, but good qualities always appear through actions only. RUTH JACOBSON Ruth is a quiet girl, too. She is never heard except when she has something to say. She listens to the in- structions of her teachers and profits by them. Quietness is one of the found.itions of a successful career. From the jewel on her left hand we judge she will not enter the business world to stay for long. We wish you the best success in life whether it be in the business world or in a home. ' Lee LENA TARSHIS a star — not in the heavens, but on the stage. Whenever you see her she is learning her lines for some play or other. Her charming personality is indeed an asset. All the boys know her. MARJORIE HAWKE Marjorie is one of our pretty red-haired maids. She is very quiet and friendly. She takes in everything and says nothing. She has been a very active member in all of the activities of the school. Commerce will miss her, but, nevertheless, we wish her the best of luck in the business world, CARL BEAUDRY Carl is a boy that the girls would treat as a brother. He is forever teasing and never fails to have some bright saying ready for everything you say. He made his mark in football and also made a name for himself in other activities. HELEN OLSON Helen came to us just a year and a half ago from Jefferson. As a student she is serious, dependable, and anxious to do what is right; as a sport she just can ' t be beat. WILLIAM CALLAN He was known as Bill — served in many activ ities — baseball, basketball, Willys-Knight, and football. Bill came to us from Benson Tech in his prime and grew with us. The girls extend their thanks to his great in- terest in progressing girls ' basketball. THE LEDGER [iV «e RUTH MULHIG Ruth is true blue. She hasn ' t lost an atom of her good fellowship even after she received a beautiful dia- mond ring on the third finger of her left hand. Con- gratulations and a happy future, Ruth. MARGARET STEPHENSON Boston is another of our smiling pals — a pal to all of us. She came to us from Lincoln three and a half years ago. Boston belongs to societies both in and out of school and is a loyal member in all. A laugh is always forthcoming to one and all. DORIS WILSON Doris is one who makes smiles to order. No matter what kind of a smile you want, she will tailor it for you. She doesn ' t just smile a while, she smiles all the time. Doris ' s smiles help make her as popular as HAZEL BUSHENVILLE Hazel is one of those quiet, studious girls who always makes something of herself. Though very reticent she was always willing to do any favor asked of her, be it asked either by teacher or classmate. Hazel will be missed by the students of Commerce. ROSALIE JOHNS Constantly persistent is Rosalie. She was ever faith- ful to her school and studies. Her sweet smile was always our morning greeting. Rosalie, we shall miss your dimpled smile and the glance of your blue eyes. MARGARET GRIFFITH Peggy came to us three years ago. She immediately adapted herself to our ways and endeared herself to us all. Peggy is a jolly good fellow who is alwa s ready to lend a helping hand. Her winning smile will long be re membered, even after she is gone. JOHN LOW Everybody knows Johnny and everybody likes him. He is a bear at football and sports, but I ' ve heard it said he is quite meek around the ladies. In spite of his six feet carried about by his equally good-sized two feet, no girl ever had a milder blue eye or more timid smile — sometimes. HELEN LOBB Helen is our faithful president. She led our class to success by her dependability, sincerity, honesty, trustful- ness, and executive ability. Helen is quiet, calm, and a lady. We hope our class is a miniature office which in future days she will be controlling in the same calm way. LILY MOECKLI Lilv was never seen without a smile and Hazel. We know that the smile will remain throughout life and that many true friendships, as the ones she has received in school, will he made. She was one of the many who began with us. We shall remember her as good in her studies and faithful as a rooter. ELEANOR ENGBERG Eleanor is a jolly good-natured chum. She is in for all that is fun after her school work is done for the day. She is studious, happy, earnest, and dependable. She is on the right path to the city of Success. MYRTLE JOHNSON It is always nice to know where we can get sympathy, and Myrtle always has a corner of her heart devoted especially to the unhappy. We know we are alvva s welcome. We love her, and she loves us. What could be better than that? GLADYS ANGELES Gladys, known as Happy, lives up to her nickname. From the first period to the seventh, wherever Gladys is, gloom just isn ' t. A girl blessed with such a joyous disposition is the most desirous associate in the world, and Happy is no exception to this rule. GLADYS LINDER Gladys is our Goldilocks who came to hunt oppor- tunity in the fields of Commerce. She differs from Goldilocks, in the story book, in that she stayed to over- come the big bears of life. Her years at Commerce have been happy ones for us all. EDWARD RAGNONE Pats, the celebrated cellist and trombonist is surely the busiest person about school. During the political campaigns he championed his favorite as well as any soapbox orator. You ' ve seen these notices on the board marked Special — Notice — Extra Be sure and be there etc. Well, that ' s usually Pat ' s wares. RUTH LAHODNY Ruth is one of the peppiest girls we have around school. Witty? If you can keep up to her banter you are worthy of a medal. She is always doing something, never still — entertaining everybody. ' e recommend Ruth for the blues. VIOLET HARRIS Violet is as much a jewel as the one she wears on her left hand. She is quiet and good natured. Everyone likes her for one big reason — they can ' t help it. To sum her up in general, Violet looks nice, talks nice, and is nice. NELLIE FROSSARD She is the kind of girl we want for a friend — quiet, dependable, studious, but with an amused quirk at the corners of her mouth, as if she sees and understands more of what happens about her than she is willing to com- ment upon. MERION YOUNG Merion will be young forever, he can ' t help but be. He takes the world as it is, and he always has a smile for it. Merion is sure to be a success as a business man for who wouldn ' t patronize a man with a smile — and dimples too? He is one of our to-be captains as he is a faithful O. N. G. HELEN WEINSTEIN Helen is a timid girl until you get her started talking on any subject she likes, and then how she talks! She shows a keen understanding of her favorite subjects and we love to listen to her discourse. Her grades are well worth her efforts of study. GLADYS STALEY We love red hair — especially when it ' s curly. Red hair begets a forceful character, a determination to see the right succeed, and a bit of blarney for us all. In GTadys we are not disappointed. She is just as fair, and just as sweet as we could have ever wished her to be. HAROLD MILLER Harold joined us at the beginning of his high school days. His good-natured cheeriness has spurred us on over many a rough place. Harold is sincere, studious, and positive in his own way. His abilities are business- like and will straighten his road to success. BETH NIGUMA She is like a picture from a Japanese wood-block — delicate, petite, and seemingly surrounded by the per- fume of pink cloud:, of cherry blossoms. But we ' re afraid that the simile ends there. A tigure from a wood- block wouldn ' t he as jolly nor as full of fun as Beth is. HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN Harry is one of THE boys at school. His charming personality and his marvelous ability to play football have earned him the title of captain of the Commerce football team. He resembles a magnet inasmuch as he always draws a crowd of girls. We ' ll surely miss Harry. Ten] THE LEDGER AGNES DEVICK Agnes is a happy, helpful pal to whomsoever comes to her for companionship. She is faithful to everything she undertakes and thus to her one goal in life. She is a student, liked by teachers and fellow students alike. She loves honesty and all that comes with it. HELEN LARSON Helen. Have you met Helen? If you haven ' t, it will be worth your while to be introduced. She is one t)f the sweetest .girls in this school. She is quiet and unobtrusive, but you will never find her alone when she wants com- pany. FRED McKEEN When Mother Nature has bestowed upon one the abil- ity to be a clown, what better pastime can there be than using that ability to cheer others? Fred is sincere, de- pendable, honest, and willing to work — what more could an employer wish one to be? Fred also has the gift of knowing when to be serious. MISS ESTHER GARDNER The adage A friend in need is a friend indeed is true of Miss Gardner, but she has been more than a friend and a helper — she is OUR pal. We have found her willing to help in every emergency. Her patient advice has had a deep influence on our future. THELMA FERRELL Thelma has not had a chance to show Commerce all she can do for she has been here only one year. Maybe you remember though, she was on the class Blotter staff. Her humor, which always stirred up laughs in Mr. Murphy ' s English class, is contagious, so you better watch out. ETHEL MALSEY Ethel has been our faithful supporter of home indus- tries. She does her bit by supporting our pop-corn and peanut vendors. She will be remembered by Portable F freshies of last term as the Sorosis girl who urged them to participate in the vaudeville. Her surplus enthusiasm for athletic games will be framed and placed in Room 4. HAROLD PASTROUICH Harold is our artist. He can be found most anytime drawing a cartoon of some professor. He is earnest in his studies, but away from them he is a jolly, good sport. Earnestness, responsibility, and originality are his lead- ing characteristics. We know success will be yours, Harold. MILDRED DUNGEY Mildred is one of our tall maidens. Her ability to help others has won her many friends. Mildred ' s cheery laugh will not be heard in our halls, but the echo will ring in the ears of her friends forever. Her stateliness has impressed us as a symbol of the pure qualities that rest with her. FLORENCE REICHLE Florence is our champion award pin collector. There ' s no typewriter made that she can ' t operate. Most of Florence ' s high school days have been at Commerce save for her first term at Lincoln. She possesses everything that makes a good stenographer — speed, accuracy, and beauty. MINERVA RETZLOFF Nern is one of the sweetest girls we have. She has never lost courage in the long road ahead, and now she is at the end of her high school career. Although she has not been in many activities, the students will remem- ber her for something that is far superior — personality. MARGARET PHELAN Margaret has been our little Quaker. Though very bright, she is modest about telling her accomplishments. Jefferson must have missed her when she left to come to Commerce two years ago. We are sure she will make a good nurse, which she hopes to be some day. MILDRED WETTERBORG Mickey is as sweet and fragrant as a white lilac, and as dependable and sure of success in all undertakings as the flower is of being beautiful. A few more such Mildreds and the world would never be tired of living. GORDON WOODS Cjordon is a newcomer in the halls of Commerce. But for the short time that he has been here he has certainly matle a name for himself. He came to us at the beginning of the term from the Stadium High School of Tacoma, Washington. We ' ll always remember him in the play Adam and Eva. DIANA SHAPIRO Diana, as her name implies, is a huntress, not of the animals, but of the fun and laughter in life. She is very easy to get acquainted with, for she is very talkative. Her history class will miss her daily fun-making. Diana ' s ever-ready smile is certain to make success easy for her. MILDRED HOBSON Mildred is the type of girl we all admire. She is a good sport and an excellent friend in any emergency. She is stately in bearing and is a good dancer. You ' d like her as well as we do, if you knew her as well as we do. LEONA TONSING That laughing, jolly girl who was to be found most anywhere around the school we remember as Leona. Sorrow never faded her smile — but a joke widened it. To remember her is to remember Mable. Leona is a glnum-chaser, and what else could be more welcome in the school of business? HAZEL MONTC;OMERY Monty without Lily wouldn ' t be Monty to us. Through- out the years at Commerce Monty has given her loyal support to all athletics. Her happy smile and jingling laugh is enough to cheer the worst of blues. JOHN YAGER John is one of our seniors who keeps his knowledge to himself. You never hear him going around telling you how wise he is. Ask John, he knows, applies well to him. You have to ask for all the information you get from him. That ' s one of the reasons we like him so well. MAY GILLIAM May is a quiet little girl to outsiders but to her friends she is, they say, the life of the party. She is the kind that teachers enjoy to have in their classes. Her quiet, friendly manner has won for her many true friends and admirers. It will be some time before we can find an- other to replace May in our hearts. SYLVIA HOLTZMAN Sylvia is a real student with an ambition in life. She has all of the characteristics that make for success. She is a jewel because she is willing, sincere, earnest, and helpful. A person blessed with these characteristics can not miss the goal of life — success. THE LEDGER [Elevt HAROLD PARMELE His thoughts are like deep rivers compared to the babbling brooks of others. We wonder if he acquired his vocabulary through reading; if so, hand us a library. Ask him a question on building a bug and see if y ou can trip him. BURDETT ANGEL Burdett boasts of having been our chief slip collector. She has served as a faithful sister in the Alpha and Gamma societies. Her attendance at football games has been excellent. (Probably there ' s an excellent reason.) She must he able to type as fast as she can talk, for she has won certificates and an Underwood pin to prove it. HARRIET HAY Harriet is one of our bright girls whom we can de- pend on. She is very quiet. One would not know that there was such a girl if it weren ' t for her brilliancy and her very friendly manner. She will make a mark in the business world. VICTOR FRANCONE Studious! Not he! He has a life to live, and that life isn ' t a sad one. Band practice provides an outlet for some of his surplus energy. We won ' t forget him as the Arab in the vaudeville. EUNICE PARTLOW Eunice reminds us of the pale, fragile lily because she is so quiet, so sweet, so unassuming, so dignified, and so modest in all her talk and ways. She is the one we like to have near when we are in trouble, for she seems to be a friend to whom we may cling. We will surely feel like lost lambs after Eunice leaves. MAXWELL ALLARA There is an old saying, If the brains do not work, the body must, but Max has been active not only in baseball and football but also in orchestra and vaude- ville. Max seems to have a habit of being manager of everything and we wonder what he will be manag- ing ten years from now. WERNER RAZ Werner Is one of those few who always do what they say when they say, to the best of their ability. His bright- ness outshines many stars and this is more remarkable since it is true he has been in America only a few years. Switzerland was his native home. FANNIE COOPER Fannie is our tiny, smiling, likeable, little lady. She is just a good pal to everyone. A word of cheer is the gift she bestows upon us all. What could be better in the World of Knocks? MABLE TATE Mable is known to everybody. Whenever help is needed, everyone goes to Mable. She does not wait to be asked either; she offers her help if she thinks it is needed. In addition to being a helper, she is a friend. The old saying, A friend in need is a friend indeed, suits Mable in everv way. Els ELSIE McNAIR is of the {[uiet, reserved nature of the wise per- son who would rather listen to the words of others than talk idly herself. Her school work shows that she finds a real joy in studying. She is our poet that came to us from Franklin. MARCELLES BEAMAN Marcelles is a sunny blond. She went gaily to several high schools before casting her luck with Commerce. She was always surrounded by a host of friends. We found her a quiet, ambitious girl with no fear of an un- successful career. JULIA JOHNSON From the very first Julia impressed us as a good scholar. But she ' s a jolly good fellow for all o ' that. Her pleasant smile has been an inspiration to more than one of us. We ' ll surely miss you, Julia. HELEN BUDLONG Helen first impressed us with her dependability and willingness to work. These two qualities made her the president of the Beta Sorosis. We all appreciate what she has done for that organization. Very often we see Helen industriously working in the office. We sincerely hope that she will be as busy when she leaves school. MARGARET SCHULTENS Monty is a quiet, ambitious girl. She is not lack- ing in spirit, either. She has proven it by being a strong rooter at all the games. Margaret is well liked by her school mates and teachers. Success is sure to be hers. RUTH CRANE If you want a typical Commerconian take Ruth. She decided Commerce was the school for her and she has stood by it for four years. She has helped to make other girls at Commerce happier by doing her bit as an Alpha sister. HELEN MYERS Helen ' s bookkeeping ability caused her to be elected class treasurer. She has certainly handled our financial affairs with an assurance of manner that made us feel happy that she was in charge of things. Perhaps we will see Helen as a great woman banker in our city in the days to come. FRANCES ROSENFELD Fanny is our chubby pal. Her frankness and good fellowship have won her many friends. There is nothing shy about Frances, folks. Her grades are satisfactory. Her presence is always welcomed by her fellow students. We are parting with a jolly good friend. MELBA MOE Earnest, thoughtful, and honest — those are only a few of Melba ' s wonderful traits. She is quiet, saying nothing except when she has something worth while to say. Melba could come and go without being noticed if it were not for her many delightful ways. She will make a wonderful secretary for some man who is a lover of peace. HAROLD PETKE Harold is quiet. He is serious minded, studious, earn- est, and always ready to help and do the best he can for everybody. Never does a chance go by but that Harold accepts it. His gentlemanly characteristics are always being shown to good advantage. He is our future ex- ecutiv e. CLIFFORD ENGLE Clifford is one of those people who is commonly known as a walking dictionary. His intelligent capacity for work has earned him a prominent place among us. His hearty handclasp and ready smile will be greatly missed. ALEXANDER JUE For four years Alex has roamed the halls; now we hate to see him leave. Fun and wisdom are always ap- preciated and he is always ready at the right time with his bit. And who shall replace our champion penman? Twelve] THE LEDGER Class Song Lucille Dodson (To tune of Bygones ) Though we leave these halls on the morrow, Though «-e journe ' forth on our way, Still we view the parting with sorrow; Through the night we dread the day. Our treasure of school days is sunny gold That ' s shot with wild beauty. Th e jewels of our dead dreams hold ; The incense of sadness weaves gently through This priceless gift, dear Commerce, we have from you. Life is as a stream swiftly flowing. While we linger here on the shore; Down its misty waves we ' ll be going. But back we turn to you once more. To the lessons you ' ve taught us, dear Commerce High, Ambition and progress. The will to see our bright dreams die; To honor your friendship we ' ll always strive, Accept the love and homage of June twenty-five. THE LEDGER [Thirteen WHEN YOUTH REIGNED Elmer Lixcolx (First Prize Story) Lon wanted to be a civil engineer. This desire had become obsessive. The only reason why he was not in college at this particular time in pursuance of his choice was the lack of sufficient funds. He knew the one and only remedy was to get to work and earn them. That is why he arrived at Camp 6 on the Jasen Grade where Old Man Madison had his headquarters. Lon first questioned the section boss for -ork, but was laughed at. Why you couldn ' t keep your balance on those twelve-inch beams, let alone work ! Say ! How do you get that way? Nope. No chance, sonny. Go away and play, I ' m busy. The brusque foreman turned to resume his interrupted supervision. Lon smiled to himself a trifle grimly. We ' ll see! he announced to the world in gen- eral; and with a certain individual in mind, he therewith headed for the main tent. What do you want? snapped the Old I Lan who, without turning his head, thus acknowledged the entrance of Lon. I ' d like work, sir. Lon stated his object firmly. As the Old Man did not answer immediatelv, he studied the bent figure before him. He presented a striking picture as he slowly shook his shaggy head over the blue print in front of him. He was of medium height and his thin shoulders made his clothes fit him poorly. His slight legs .were en- twined about those of his stool. One foot nervously beat a steady tat-tat-tat on the side of his tall desk. All together Lon ' s first impression of him was not over-satisfactory. He shifted his eyes for a minute to glance at an immense map at his left. When he turned them back to the Old Man, he found him- self being given the once over. A pair of frosty blue eyes were regarding him with open hostility. ou work? queried the possessor. Yes, sir, when I get it. Lon advanced a half step. I want a chance to show you what I can do. Of course I am also considering the rudimentary principles this kind of work involves. I want to be an engineer. Humph! I guess you don ' t understand all you do know about it, returned the Old Man. He was about to turn to his study of the print, thus dis- missing Lon, but he caught the eager longing in the boy ' s eyes and mentally noted that here was a live wire. Well, you are too light to slave out on the con- struction, but I can use you here around the office ■ — to run errands and carry orders, he offered at length, ' ou report to me here every morning at six-thirty, sharp. Today you go down and look things over. Your quarters will be with the men. Johnson will assign you properly. Go and see him first. He is that man standing by the handcar. Lon swallowed his pride. This was a kid ' s job but — . The next morning and for many mornings after that, he reported to the Old Man and found him agreeable in a rough, unemotional way. It was just two months later that Lon overheard a sub-engineer remark to another: I never saw a bridge built like this before, yet I like it. The only fault I can see so far is that, if the foundations were in any way weakened, the whole structure would collapse like an egg shell. No, it wouldn ' t, contradicted his companion. See that sixteen-inch cable up there? Well, that alone can hold the construction on its feet. That big hook there is merely slipped under the key beam, and your bridge won ' t need a foundation. I really don ' t see why a suspensioner wouldn ' t work here better, but the Old Man is paid to watch his busi- ness. I ' m not. Lon pondered over this bit of information all day. That night he crawled up the frame work and studied out the whole arrangement. Pretty clever, he muttered. But if that hook should ever come loose — He slid down to the ground and sought the Old Man. You ought to have that hook bolted on, he concluded, after stating the situation. ' Out of the mouths of babes and fools comes the words of infinite wisdom ' , the Old Man qvioted ironically, ' oung man, how many bridges have you set up? None yet, but common sense tells me you ought to have that fixed to avoid any possible trouble, reiterated Lon stubbornly. The Old IVLan stared at him thoughtfullv as he mentally reviewed some of the hundred comple.x and complicated problems that he had vet to work out. They angered him ; he settled the question at once by a curt, I have put together about a dozen of ' em in each state and I guess this one will be com- petent as it stands. I won ' t have anyone like you telling me m ' business. Tomorrow morning you get your time and get out! The next day an Italian was crossing the trestle with a box of special explosives. Midway over he stumbled and the box fell through the frame work. The resulting explosion shook the bridge and also tore out foundation 2. This left the cable the main support of the bridge. Fourteen THE LED G E R That night as Lon waited for the outgoing log train he sat on the office steps and watched the lightning zigzag across the inky sky; the ominous, threatening rumhle of thunder echoed hollowlv as it rolled about in the vast heavens. The door swung open behind him and he heard O ' Keef, the wireless operator, telling the Old Man that a cloudburst had caused a flood at Flinton about ten miles away, and that a log jam had occurred at the town bridge. Water rose fiftv feet before the jam could be blown out ! finished O ' Keef. The Old Man considered the information for a minute and then grabbed his raincoat and hurried to the door. Come on! he ordered to Lon. That blamed flood isn ' t going to do us any good with that wrecked casement gone, believe me! Just twenty minutes later the wall of water hit the bridge a staggering blow, and with a yell Lon announced the fact that the big hook had come off as the whole structure was heaved up a few inches. It swung idly a few feet to one side of the heavy key beam. Even as the men stood, struck dumb with this new calamity, a slight crackle could be hear d. There she goes! ' shouted a worker. Silence! the Old Man rapped out. Who will go out there and replace that hook? It means no more work for you if you lose the bridge! No one moved and finally a man voiced the feel- ings of all. Me life is worth more to me than your blamed work or bridge either, he said deliber- ately. You ain ' t got much respect for what little brains we has got! Besides there ain ' t nobody holdin ' ya back ; do it yourss ' f. The Old Man bit his lip and, even as the sound of breaking cement and timber grew louder, he turned and started for the structure alone. Lon beat him. Like a cat he scrambled up the frame of steel and swiftly leaped from one cross girder to another. An instant later he stood on the key beam, looking doubtfully at the distant hook a;, il swung in th; blurred uncertain gloom, five or six feet away, and attempting to see just how he was go- ing to manage to get that hook under the key beam before the rapidly crumbling foundations would al- low the bridge to sink too far down. A single slip — his mind invo untarily shuddered — to think of drop- ping swiftly through the night — dropping — tailing, to strike chilled water that would close over his head. Resolutely he shook the fear from him. Sud- denly he leaped out and for a sickening second he thought he had missed his mark, but his clutching fingers finally clojed spasmodically over the heavy chain. The force of his drop made the chain start to swing like a huge pendulum ; the same force nearly tore Lon ' s hands loose. Blood fairly spurted from the broken finger tips. One thumb throbbed quecrly. Despite his crucifying pain he concentrated all his efforts on what he was doing, and presently the momentum of the chain became great enough for him to gain a hold on the master trestle-tree. As he struggled to turn the huge hook around, the sliding crackle became a roar, and the bridge lur ' bed for ihe final p ' unge — a plunge that would result in a hopeless tangle of twisted steel and blasted dreams. With strength born of sheer des- peration he strained, and with a ' ast titanic effort which wrenched a torn sob from him, the obstinate hook turned and slipped home with just a fraction of a second to spare. The Old Man ' s voice rumbled and shook the night air with its deep vibration. Son, where are you? Lon ' s broken pant from his tortured lungs, the result of his superhuman exertion, was his only answer. But the Old IVLan heard, and as f on glided into unconsciousness he felt a strong, pro- tecting arm grip his shoulders. One morning a month later Lon found himself in the Old Man ' s office. What have you got to say for yourself, young man? questioned the gray- haired engineer, peering at him from under heavy, bushy eyebrows. Lon smiled. What would ' ou say were you in my place? he countered shrewdly. The Old Man hedged. What are your plans for building bridges, eh? What about the ones you are going to build? he asked quickly. Lon told him. Humph! he reflected gruffly. Maybe I can help you. 1 have a few thousand dollars in — No! I don ' t want that kind of help. I don ' t want to take money, interrupted Lon. I didn ' t do what I did for the sake of any reward. True and well spoken ! warmly praised the Old Man. But I believe, if you will let me finish what I - vant to say, 1 can lend vou sufficient funds for your course, and you can pay me back when you complete it. Then come to work for me. 1 need a man to take my place. I ' m getting rather along in years and I don ' t enjoy m - work as I used to. Well — considered Lon. A stray bolt of lightning flashed suddenly over- head, illuminating the room for an instant. That instant revealed an old man Axith a noble head, and a imiiing youth ; their right hands were clasped. A curious light reflected in the eyes of both. It was the light of mutual understanding. THE LEDGER [Fifle MIKE CASALENO Vkrda Jappert The old proverb, Happiness must be earned, rings true in the case of every contented and happy person. People will endure the hardest sort of physical toil and at the end be happy; so in the case of Mike Casaleno. When he was a little boy about eight years old, he was brought before a judge on the charge of stealing a saw from a hardware store. It wasn ' t an expensive one, just an ordinary common wood- chuck. What is your name? began the judge. Mike Casaleno. Where do you live? In the slums at 210. Do you live with your parents? I haven ' t got any. Whom do you stay with? My Uncle. Do you go to school? No! Wh • did vou steal that saw; was it for vour Uncle? No! I wanted the saw. You wanted the saw, and what for? I liked it. It was so shiny and nice, I thought it would be lots of fun sawing wood with it. Don ' t you know that it is wrong to steal? The boy was silent. The judge, being impressed with the fact that the boy didn ' t know the difference between right and wrong, delivered a long lecture about stealing. When he had finished, he announced that Mike was to go to school, and that the saw would be given back to the hardware man. Mike began to crv. I suppose the advantage of free education doesn ' t appeal to you, the judge flung at the little, ragged, dirty- faced boy. Oh! Sir! It ' s not that, but that I should lose the only plaything I ever had. The sobbing had grown into a loud cry. Well, Mike, the judge finally said, you can keep the saw, and I ' ll pay the hardware man for it, on the condition that you promise never to steal anything else. I promise. At that the judge reached over his desk and shook hands with the little boy. Mike Casaleno was sent to school and after go- ing there for two months, he decided that he didn ' t mind school so much after all. At the end of a year he loved to go to school and studv. Of course he had not forgotten the saw. Everv night after school he would saw the wood for the next day ' s use. One night after he had sawed enough wi)od to fill the wood bo.x, he laid the saw in his lap. As he handled it and bended it, he observed that by hitting it with a stick there was a whoor sound. His in- terest increased. He finally learned how to hold the saw correctly in order to be able to bend it skillfully and give different sounds. He would sit on a chair, place the handle of the saw between his knees, and with his left hand would hold and bend the saw, placing his thumb on top and the other four fingers at the end. With his right hand he would tap the saw with a little wooden hammer he had made. After he had learned the scales and had become acquainted with the technique of music in school, he learned to pick out the notes on the saw. His hand would get sore at times from holding his queer instrument too long, but he didn ' t notice it, so keen was his interest. After many days of practice he was able to run up and down the scale as fast as a pianist can do on the piano. When he graduated from grammar school, he was able to play a number of selections. People liked to hear him. It was something new — remark- able. He was asked to play for churches and en- tertainments. He became popular. Money poured into his hands — for A hat won ' t people pa ' to hear or see something new! Mike became inspired. He went to high school, playing on his saw. He went to college and when he reached twenty-one he was featured on the great Keith vaudeville circuit at a fabulous salary. Mike, the boy of the slums, who had toiled to perfect his saw playing, had attained happiness. Sixte THE LEDGER DEVIL ' S PIE Laurette Wheeler Patricia Murphy was often referred to as Bid ' s onery rascal or the devil ' s own partner. Her brilliant red hair was braided in two wiry braids which stuck out on both sides of her head. Her eyes were as green as cat ' s — but no one dared to tell her so. Her face was sprinkled with a mass of large healthy brown freckles. Her kid brother Bud explained their origin to her by saying the cow spit bran in her face when she was feeding her. Well — he just had to retreat to some place of secrecy to avoid the violence of her genuine Irish temper. She was tall and strong. It was a pleasure to see her walking down the street, for her long strides and her boyish figure always attracted attention. She could put any boy in the shade in hookin ' mel- lons, playing mibs, and fist-fighting. Any one that stirred her to anger would usually have to go around the next few days — or months as it might be — with a nose flattened to look like the mug of a bull dog, or else he was wearing a shiner that gave one side of his face a black and bluish tint. The only time she ever played house with the girls was when she could be the robber, villain, or detective. They, liking the novelty of the idea at first, would consent to this, but she had them so uneasy all the time she played that they would re- treat to some hidden corner to play in peace. She was swinging listlessly down the street whistling the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel, when her attention was drawn to a group of ladies who were talking excitedly. They were grouped around widow Mary Shannon, trying to comfort her over the loss of her chickens which had been mysteriously stolen the night before. With her head buried in her apron, she sobbed, Thoey were my loif, my hope, my only support till I ' d join moie ole man Mike in the other woirld he ' s in. Whether the ol ' divils got him or whether he ' s a wearin ' a haloe an ' a wearin ' green petticoats tucked up in a yaller girdle an ' sittin ' by ol ' Saint Patrick, I ' ll follow him. Oh! my chickens, curse the luck of this ol ' widow. Pat slipped unnoticed to Mary Shannon ' s chicken yard. Her keen eyes scrutinized the muddy, dirty pen. She gave an exclamation under her breath as she noticed a footprint near the gate. It was not made by the widow ' s shoe because the print was of a man ' s shoe. Upon examining the print more closely she observed that on the heel of the shoe was a cross made of shod nails. Silas Jackson, she breathed. There wasn ' t a person in the little town who didn ' t know that print. It belonged to an old superstitious negro that lived on the outskirts of the town. He always wore a cross on his heel, because it would render his footprints invisible to the devil; consequently the demon could not follow him. This certain coon had a peculiar yet common talent, which was raising chickens. No one ever had the success he had. To explain my statement further, I mean raising chickens from other people ' s yards. Patricia stole noiselessly down the street, out of hearing distance. Producing a willow whistle from her pocket, she blew it shrilly. In the course of a few seconds there were boys coming from every direction. When they were grouped around her, she announced, Gentlemen of the G. O. of D. D. of H. V. we will proceed to navigate to our place of meeting, in short, our rendezvous, to discuss an im- portant question. A few minutes later she was laying before them her plan of action, and also giving orders right and left. Pete, you bring your last winter ' s suit of red flannel underwear. Aw! Quit making excuses. Your old grandma won ' t care. Say, if you don ' t cut it out you ' ll be kicked out of this club. Say, Dan, I ' ll give you a dime and you go the store and get some red calico. Hmm! Let ' s see. Your sis is a pretty good girl ; you have her make a cap with stuffed horns. Be sure to make her keep mum, now ! Mike, you go get Kate O ' Leary ' s jump rope and you can whittle a good dart. I think that will make a good tail. Now — I guess we have every- thing but the paints. I ' ll furnish those. That evening all the things were all in shape. Pat took them and crept quietlv to her room. She soon arrayed herself in her devil costume. Then with several artistic touches with her paint brush, she made her face a fiery red, and with her black arched eyebrows, mustache, and goatee, she made a fine likeness of Satan himself. As night crept uoon the earth, the bovs stole up to old Silas ' house. They hid in ambush while our young devil neared the house. Sniff! Sniff! Chicken pie. ' Her nostrils quivered ; her mouth watered for the fine baked chicken between two layers of rich flaky pie crust. She pushed the door open and entered. Old colored Silas was sitting bv the stove. He jumped when he heard her step. His eyes grew wild; cold beads of perspiration covered his shaggy brow; he fell to his knees, sobbing out a jumble of prayers, crys for help, and entreaties. The devil looked fiercely at him and spoke in an authoritative tone, I, the king of Hades, I, the ruling hand of the damned, I, the prince of dark- ness, I, the devil of hell, have come to claim your (Continued on Page 52) THE LEDGER l Seventeen MILADY ' S BOUDOIR Marjorii; Paxgborn (Author ' s note: This title has nothing at all to ilo with the facts here- in presented. Owing to the delicacy of the material now published for the first time, it was conceived to completely disguise the nature of this document. This rightfully should he called, The Revelations of a Cor- respondent. ) Being closely associated with the smoothly manip- ulated mechanism of the Plunk ille Police force, I am qualified to speak with authority upon the secret and heretofore unrevealed methods of that organization. Undoubtedly these startling revela- tions will contribute much to the knowledge of Scotland Yard, which will no doubt make haste to award me a million dollars, but it hasn ' t done so yet. I am bound to divulge these facts in spite of the evil threats upon my life from notorious characters of the underworld. I feel it my duty to humanity to unlock these lips that have long been sealed upon the past. Let us follow the inner workings of the Phuik- ville Police force by a specific example. By inner workings I do not mean digestive processes. The case I refer to was staged in an ancient and dilapidated mansion on a gloomy hill outside the town. The house was darker than the river Styx at midnight, but it would have been heaven to an antique collector. It was in fine condition except that it needed a new porch, seven new floors, sev- entv-one window panes, and eighteen more bricks in the chimney. The domicile had a strange fore- boding atinosphere to the townspeople, for bad luck had followed everyone who had lived in it. Seven persons were known to have died there, and one even went so far as to get married in it. It had always possessed a strange lure for the younger generation of the town, and one of the greatest feats the youths could accomplish was to go to the haunted house at night. It was on one of these occasions that Slivers McGinnity, a Chi- nese lad, and two badly frightened boys, made cer- tain disco eries which I am about to relate, and which had a direct bearing upon the case so aptly sohed hy the able Plunkville Police. Noiselessly the ' crept up the rickety stairs of the old mansion. Then as Slivers gingerly turned the knob of the door on the landing, the portal was swung open by an unseen hand. Wildly the boys tumbled down, then stopped for breath ; they were horrified to hear a shot and a piercing scream. Slivers was seven shades whiter than any ghost could possibly have been when he reported the in- cident to his astonished parents. The parents with true civic pride and with utter disregard of fact re- ported the matter to the police force. I hesitate to make these revolutionary disclosures, but my mind is made up and I will continue at any cost to my peace of mind or love of truth. What did the police force do when this crisis presented itself? . ' t high noon the force mounted his horse and rode away in a body. Arrived at the dwelling, he stood in the door and shouted, Is anyone there? As no one answered in the negative he took it for granted that someone zvas there. This delicate bit of sleuthing should not be underestimated. To show the course of reasoning which his mind followed in propounding that question, let us consider his reasons as recently admitted to me in a personal interview. Reason 1. He wanted to know if anyone really were there. Reason 2. If anyone were there, he wanted him to know that he was there, too. His next step was toward the stairway. A sud- den creaking was heard to come from the upper regions. The sheriff quaked. His next step Avas toward the outside. Let it be understood that he was not moved by any sense of personal fear, for he was as brave as any man who lived, when he had a big chew of Climax in his mouth. Many a time I have seen his beard bristle in anger, and manv a time I have seen him grit his twenty-dollar- per-plate teeth in determination. He later broke down and confessed to me that he had gone out in the yard to search for footprints. He returned to the house and on hands and knees crawled up the stairway still looking for — if the reader doesn ' t know what he was looking for, I do not feel justified in committing myself. He succeeded in reaching the top of the stairs without making any more noise than if he had dragged a piano upside down behind him. The strategy in this mantcuver he later explained to me was to arouse any occupants from their slumbers and give them a fair fighting chance. The sheriff was a fair- minded man. Furthermore, the unearthly racket, according to his logic, would cause the desperadoes to think a whole zoo was coming up the stairway. Eighteen THE LEDGER which heiiifi impossihle, would in turn cause them to thinic that they were suffering from deUrium tremens, and therefore to believe that no one was coming at all. With the same systematic care and careful thought he entered the room. If space permitted, I would explain why he entered the room. This marked one of the greatest moments in the career of the Plunkville Police force. He found nobody, but on the floor before his astonished gaze spread a large, red blot. The sheri ff took one look at the spot, and though he had never swum in his life, he executed a technically perfect swan dive through the second story window. This action shows his diversity of talent. He later explained to me that one look was enough to convince him that the substance was blood, though it was the consistency of army soup; so he had decided to further his search by ascertaining whether there were any footprints on the side of the house. There is a mystery here, some place, by George! he exclaimed as he extracted his head from a mud puddle. After carefully searching the premises, even to the cracks in the floor and the leaves of the three musty volumes in the dingy library, he sat down in the kitchen to await developments. Fifteen minutes had not elapsed before a young girl and two young men appeared in the hallway. The Plunkville Police force took n o chances with these desperate criminals, so he lifted his revolver and fired two shots in rapid succession. In his hurry he did not notice that the gun was pointed the wrong direc- tion. The first bullet went over his left shoulder and killed a poor cow grazing harmlessly in the back yard. The second bullet hit the cast iron stove behind him, rebounded and struck him so hard in the back of the head that it knocked his cap over his eyes. He imagined that he had been attacked from the rear, and a terrible fight ensued with him- self. One of the young men came forward at the con- clusion of this awful conflict and offered to assist him. The doughty sheriff refused. Let all three of them ruffians at me again, by cracky! he shouted. This statement indicated the fighting spirit of the police force, and lost none of its effect because it was said after the sheriff real- ized that no one was attacking him. Vile murderers, you ' ll come to your end all right, by hokey! he exclaimed, pointing an accus- ing finger at the trio. This forceful statement, he later explained, was to cause them to break down — for he realized that he was dealing with desperate characters. After an interview in which the domineering personality of the sheriff was in full mastery of the situation, the three realized that it was hopeless to match their wits further against those of the Plunk- ville Police force. One of them impulsively blurted out his confession of the whole dastardly deed. The sheriff with slow and careful deliberation spat out his chew of Climax and listened to the tale, which we herewith present verbatim : We are all struggling actors, and we had no money with which to hire a hall, so seeing this va- cant house, we decided to use it for rehearsals. The substance you found on the floor was not blood at all. It was merely red water color which we used in our tragedy scene for a lack of better imitation blood. After so successfully solving this mystery, the Plunkville Police force walked to the road with the calm and reserved manner of one who knows he has done his duty well. The police force mounted his horse and rode awav in a body. Moonlight Lucille Dodson, S. P. Thoughts at Bedtime Amy Booth, S. P. The ribbon of moonlight over the bay Is a path to the land of dreams.

THE LEDGER [Nineteen TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY An Adventure IVith Shoe Salesmen I needed some shoes — two shoes, in fact. Now that may seem a trifle, considering the number that a centipede must buy, but to me — words are inade- quate. I had no idea, that bright afternoon when I started blythely down the street to find my pedal affinities, that the search would be a prolonged one. I approached this serious matter with a manner all too frivolous. If you had ventured to suggest such a preposterous thing, I would have instantly become indignant. Buying shoes a difficult affair! Going into a store, sitting down while a clerk fitted the shoes upon your feet, paying him (I ' ll admit that is the hard part) and walking away was a simple enough procedure! As I said before, I did not give the matter due consideration. During my lunch hour one day I indulged in the pastime which I believe my wife calls window-shopping, that of peering into the various store windows and tabulating in an orderly mind the various merits and demerits of the mer- chandise therein. In my case, however, the experi- ment was unsuccessful. My eye was attracted by an enticing display of radio equipment, and I was unable to tear myself away from it until I was 15 minutes late at the office. At the stroke of five I sallied forth again. I en- tered the first store I saw, and told the washed-out- looking clerk that I wanted a pair of shoes like those in the right-hand window, with square toes. Could you show them to me? he asked. I pointed them out. For your wife? he queried politely. Certainly not. But those are the latest sport shoes for the athletic girl, he replied, then continued glibly, Wide last, comfortable, with enough space to en- able the toes to exercise freely, low, flat heels, just the thing for — I turned and fled, leaving him talking. Several blocks further I found a store which catered only to men. I ent in and sat down in one of long row of upholstered seats. A patent- leathered-haired clerk came forward and with a bored air asked if there was anything that he could deu fo me. Realizing that, since he was doing me the favor of waiting upon me, the least I could do was to state my errand as briefly as possible, I answered meekly, Could — could ou fit me to a pair of shoes please ? Low heels, square toes — A pair of shoes? he asked languidly, with lifted evebrows, I feah that I shall have to call another clerk to se-ah-ve you. He strolled toward the back of the store. I waited patiently for 5 minutes, I waited impatiently for 10 — and then I left. After a block entirely void of shoe stores, I found one which looked promising. I entered and seated myself. A clerk bustled up. Well, well, what is it for you today? he asked. I ' d like a pair of shoes, I explained, low heels, square toes — We have just what you want, he interrupted, and hurried off. He returned in a second loaded with boxes. But I only wanted one pair of — Hold on, hold on, we ' ll have it in a minute, he said soothingly. He knelt and removed my shoe. There, in all its glory, was a hole the size of a dol ' ar, and no gold dollar at that. My wife had told me to be sure and buy me a new pair of socks before buying my shoes, that all my old pairs had darned places in them. Oh that radio equipment! I was sure the clerk was laughing up his sleeve. Dear me! I am sure that wasn ' t there when I put the sock on this morning, I said in a vain attempt to recover my self-respect. He jammed my foot down — as far as it would go — into a shoe. A perfect fit, he enthused, smooth, not a wrinkle, yet with plenty of room. I was sure you could wear a 7. I was equally sure that I could not, and told him so. So he ascended a ladder and brought from the dim heights of shelves another load of boxes. Here is just the thing you need, slighth ' pointed toe, which gives it a sophisticated look, narrow, to fit your aristocratic foot — in fact, you couldn ' t find a better shoe, if you searched for a vear. Come to think of it, my foot luas narrow. I had good ancestors, too. Evidently this man knew what he was talking about. I purchased the shoes and was walking out of th; store when the salesman rushed up. Here is a pair of socks that match your shoes perfectly, he said. So refined looking, their broad scarlet stripes are an exact replica of those which the Prince of Wales wears. I bought those, too, and departed. And this was the end of a perfect day. My wife, however, does not seem to rely upon the opinion of stray salesmen, and so she accompanies me now in all mv shoe-bu ing adventures.

Read on! THE ARTICLE Girls, a disappointed admirer once told me that I was fitted by nature to be a cat, so I have en- deavored to follow my inclinations by pussyfooting softly through the affairs of other people, creating a scandal once in a while merely by wav of showing my claws. Thus I have come to the new and startl- ing decision that all men are brutes and all girls sweet, lovable, etc. — especially etc. This number in the series Advice to Girls is intended to show innocent younger sisters how to train the particular type of brute known as elder brothers. Let us suppose that your brother is nineteen vears old. If he is twenty or even twentv-one, don ' t worry. Scientific research has proved that no man can reach the age of twenty-one without having once been nineteen. If he is eighteen, don ' t worry either. He will arrive in time. We shall start getting to the bottom of this pressing question by eliminating John and Joe and Jock and Jack and Goeffrey and calling your brother Jim. ' V ' ou un- derstand, girls, that his name doesn ' t have to be Jim. This is just a hypothetical case. Yes. Let us suppose that Jim has a date with his eirl. You will know this when he comes into the kitchen and plays selections for you on his saxophone while you are doing the dishes. Presently he will stop playing and cough. Pay no attention to him. Bv all means don ' t look up. L se discretion. Soon he will cough again and ask you to leave the back door unlocked. Look surprised. Remember vou are only a kid sister and- are not supposed to understand the deep and intricate workings of his superior mind. His conversation will run something like this: If you ' ll leave the back door unlocked, I ' ll rake you to a movie — when a man ' s worked hard all day, he wants to get out — I ' ll buy you that record you ' ve been wanting — that ' s a pretty dress vou have on — a man must have his play — I ' ll gi e vou enough cash to buy that scarf you ' ve been raving about, etc., ad infinitum. Make a few remarks in a shocked tone about double-crossing parents. This does nothing but pass time, since you both know that it is a physical impossibility to enter the house at night without your mother knowing it. By simulating disinterest and holding out on him, you will get him to promise you something he doesn ' t want you to have. Then you should let him go for nothing. This will reduce him to a state decidely receptive of further ministrations. If you are feeling extra benevolent, you might ask him in a shocked voice whether he intends to go out with all that brush on his face. He will then scrape blissfully for half an hour, use all the hot water, ruin a towel and a couple of razor blades, and succeed in shaving off nothing at all for the reason that there was nothing there to shave. But if vou feel like spoiling his girl ' s evening, wait until he asks vou if he needs a shave and then tell him that with close scrutiny under a magnifying glass, you might be able to locate one bold whisker. This is excellent training. When he is all dressed, tell him he looks like a sheik. This will reduce him to a frenzy and he will lecture heatedly for half an hour on the general worthlessness of sheiks. After this he will depart and come back wearing a tie so loud it Mill bark at you and ruin the cat ' s peace of mind. The train- ing in argumentation and rhetoric to be derived fronr inducing him to a change back again is invaluable. As he is going down the steps with a rosebud in his buttonhole, tell him you are going riding with So So. Brother will immediately come back and forbid you to go anywhere with So5:So, and will sketch his character for you fully and luridly as an unfit companion for anybody ' s sister. So So, b the way, is Jim ' s best friend. One wonders how he speaks of Jim to his sister. However, be sure to go riding with brother ' s pal. Results are always interesting. You should worry when he comes in. He will arise the next day at noon with a grouch and a headache. If you cook his breakfast for him, he might tell you how he got that way. At anv rate, our h pothetical case is finished. Hear and be wise! Twenty-tii ' o THE LEDGER Moods Kenneth Richards, S. P.

Thus every silvered night fades into day And every day comes swiftly to its death, Each one a bead upon strands of a gay Thin silken mesh, which trembles at a breath That shakes its slender threads. The beads are caught Into the web of which a life is wrought. Triolet HiLDRED Atkinson, S. P. The city lights at night Dance on the rippling waves.

THE LEDGER [Twenty-three STUDENT BODY ACTIVITIES The following; things are just a very few Of the many things that Commerce students do When studies have been finished for the day And all scholastic things are put away. The members of El Esacomo strive To make a Spanish Club in Commerce thrive. They speak that foreign tongue with fluent ease. Without a stumble or asthmatic heeze. Sorosis girls have small sisters to mother (Though most would rather have a Freshman brother), But since the club has grown to such great size, Some have to be content with older guys. The lessons that they take in etiquette Teach them not to get their fingers wet With steaming soup, and how to bid adieu To host and hostess when the evening ' s through. The Student Body Council works and sweats For the small amount of credit that it gets. The burden of school government it bears, And lightens Mr. Elton ' s many cares. The Orchestra begins with sounds harmonic. With excrutiating noises saxaphonic, And sobbing violins and bass drums blare. While Miss Hoeber vainly beats upon the air. The Blotter has a lengthy nose for news And scatters jokes which surely cure the blues. In spelling it would win the ribbon blue ; To copy its orthography would never do. The Silver Pencil Club can boast a store Of essays, stories, and poetic lore, (Though a poet is a disappointing guy In loud red socks and louder red bow tie.) The Lemon C adorn our sumptuous halls And serve as brawny props for our worn walls. The stand encircled by the flappers gay And lightly pass their study hours away. The siren ' s call which gently wafts along In undulating cadences of song Is just our Glee Club, singing for a space Without a discord, tainted by some bass.

Back row Fred McKeen, manager, Howard Van VN ' agner, Benny Lee. BASKETBALL The 1925 basketball team entered the maple court with a high precedent to uphold. The 1924 team tied for the championship and it was only after a round robin had been played it was defeated. It was with this standard that the team entered the cage game. Putting it frankly, this was a difficult position to be plunged into with the hand- icap of havi ng only three lettermen, no practice, no floor, and a new style of coaching. These handi- caps are not offered as a list of alibis, because the spirit of the team made up for them. The first week of practice brought out some promising material for a strong team, but then a dark cloud appeared on the horizon. It was marked handicap and claimed two of the lettermen for a week ' s illness. It was some time before the team really swung into its natural stride. The efforts were rewarded by finishing fourth in the league standing. Much credit is due to Mr. Niday, coach of the team. His untiring efforts to produce an evenly balanced team, both offensivelv and defen- sively, were rewarded for a while only to be driven back over the hill into the valley of misfortunes. The nucleus of the team was composed of Ed- ward Cheney, forward; Carl Beaudry, forward; Norman Fones, center; John Low, guard; and Billy Callan, guard and captain. Captain Callan had the pleasure of playing in only one game without having an injury attached to him, but still he made the second all-star team.

Members of the Spanish Club presented a folk dance in Spanish costume. Thelma Hedges, Emma Middlestead, Helen Claus, Frances Sparling, Hazel Bent, and Delta Robertson were the cast. The Lemon C worked out its own act and put over one of the best skits of the evening. Ken- neth Althouse, DeLoss Peterson, William Carlson, Edward Cheney, Fred McKeen, John Low, and Morris Levoff made up the cast of School Davs. Some of the extra features were the dancing of Cheney and McKeen, and the latter ' s Swedisu brogue. Althouse ' s magnetic personality carried away the audience. The rhymed burlesque Percy the Pirate, writ- ten by Faye Howe, was presented by the Silver Pencil Club. Those participating were Lucille Dodson, Earl Henry, Tony Ignazzitto, Joe Pig- ney, Harold Sammons, and Elmer Lincoln. Under the able direction of Sylvan Halperin, the Orchestra produced a dance revue of a surprisingiv good quality. The dancing of Amy Booth, P er- ett Elliot, Pearl Johnson, Harold Keitle, Earnest McAuley, Fred McKeen, Ed Cheney, and Isabel Ball was enough to arouse the jealousv of profes- sionals. The Joint Sorosis offered Overtones with Louise Brown, Margaret Griffiths, Lena Tarshis, and Anne Streight as representatives. The audi- ence fairly collapsed with laughter. Were the Freshmen represented? Judging by the storm of applause which their act received, it is generally accepted that they were. Credit is due to Earnest Meyers, Frankie Runion, Clarice Smith, David Hill, Walter Freiter, and James Christison for the success of The King of Com- merconia. The freshmen can give some of the upper classmen a few pointers on enthusiasm and determination. Edith Blum and Irene Brandenburg, members of the Glee Club, created quite a pleasant sensation with their clever acting and songs. The Commerce Saxaphonists, under the direc- tion of Kenneth Richards, who wrote the skit, put across their act splendidly. The cast was composed of Victor Francone, Mabel Duniway, Kenneth Richards, Alexander Jue, Lucile Parmele, and George Goss. Miscellaneous hits or outstanding features of the program were Herbert Weil ' s songs. Sylvan Hal- perin ' s piano selections, and Fred and Ed, the danc- ing fiends, who will not be forgotten for some time to come. Faster floor polishers cannot be fovmd m Portland. Rhymed announcements were made by Faye Howe. Faculty members were kind enough to lend their assistance in clearing up many of the difficulties which attend the presenting of a vaudeville. Miss Newell managed the rehearsals with diplomatic skill. Miss Belat proved a very valuable asset in the straightening out of tangles. Miss Maclean, Miss Black, Miss Harrington, and Mr. Carpenter showed great ability as coaches. Commerce is extremely fortunate in having its cooperative spirit and wealth of enthusiasm and zeal. THE LEDGER [ Tiventy-seven ADAM AND EVA Presented by June, ' 25 Class DRAMATIS PERSON E Lexa Tarshis It is Eva ' s opinion that the life of a pampered daughter is all right, but that it is rather strenuous to have three lovers. Fred McKeen Adam has lost some of his illusions but still retains the one about his score of 50% vfomen. Gordon Woods and Rosalie Johns Clintie and Julie have slipped quite easily into the rut of married life and feel that it is too bad that it lasts only six weeks. C- RL Be.audry James King finds life of Dadda too strenuous altogether. Too exciting, he says, and nerve-racking to have everv good looking girl saying Oh, Daddy, Dear. Harold Parmele Lord Andrew Gorden, whose part looks really quite villianous at the beginning, has definitely decided in the dim distance to adjourn to England, the country of the By joves. Gl.- dvs Linder Aunt Abbey ' s only regret is that she can ' t really go to that famous Memory Class. Victor Fr. ncone Dr. Delamater ' s opinion is that the career of a Doctor is too strenuous. Glenn M.artin Uncle Horace says that, all joking aside, he really has svmptoms, and no one will pay him any attention. Symptoms of what. ' Doctor Delamater says spring fever. Doris Wilson Corinthia has decided to take up as a life work the position of maid, in hopes that some handsome young lad will rcallv propose. Twenty-eiffht] T H E L E D C; E R Q a ►4 CO W W u Pi a o o THE LEDGER [Twenty-nine SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE Ben Carpenter The team that knows the fundamentals of foot- ball will win the close games. Newspaper pictures and the movies have ex- ploited Commerce so that a great number have un- wittingly overlooked pertinent facts certain to af- fect Commerce ' s chances. In June Commerce will lose seven regular play- ers through graduation. Besides graduation, the new rulings of the league and scholastic ineligible.; will also cause much grief in our case. This is a tremendous loss. To recoup this loss, everyone donned the moleskins and for ten days spring prac- tice was the subject of greatest concern. Spring football practice has had a two-fold pur- pose in Commerce: first, to acquaint new men with fundamentals; second, to discover talent to carry on for those absent. A mutual and sympa- thetic understanding between coach and player has resulted, and greater individual attention has been possible than otherwise would have been. Ed Cheney and Jimmy Milan will attend the Rockne school at O. A. C, accompanied by Coach Carpenter, ■ho, besides, will go East for a new course. The fruit of the effort during spring practice will not be known until fall. BASEBALL All the world loves a lover, so say the poets. All the world loves a winner, and of this we are sure. Commerce ' s winning four out of her first five games, baseball enthusiasm is at white heat in Com- merce as we hurry these lines to the printer. Al- though Commerce has no regular ballgrounds and has little equipment, she has beaten Grant, Lin- coln, Roosevelt, and Franklin. Over-anxiety lost the game with Jefferson. What will Commerce do with the rest of her schedule? We are no prophets but the Com- merce Spirit is again very much in evidence. Once started it burns like a house afire. In addition, Lizzie, the heap o ' tin carrying the squad to the Davis grounds, shows no signs of weakening — not even a flat tire. HANDBALL The handball tournament was a round robin ; every boy played the other. Twenty-three rooms competed. The tournament lasted about two weeks and ended by Edgar Martin of Room 1 1 winning the cup, a bronze one inlaid with silver. It was presented by Spalding Brothers. Nathan Isenstein of Room 2 won second place. The purpose of the hand-ball tournament was to interest boys who had not taken part in major sports of the school. Here ' s hoping that these fel- lows will show a keener desire to participate in the other athletics, too. GOLF Golf has been an interscholastic major sport since last year, and this year ranked as a major attraction. This year ' s tournament, hich took about six weeks to play, was for the Walter Pearson golf cup. Fifteen men turned out for golf this term. The four who were chosen to represent Commerce were Floyd Teegarden, captain ; Alex Sprawkins, second place; Leo Blaufus, third place; and Fred Myer, fourth place. Frank Kerrigan was chosen as sub- stitute. riurly] THE LEDGER Front row: Doris Wilson, Malvina Feldstein, Harriet Hay. Back row: Nathan Campf, Axel Pearson, Howard Wilson, Ray Dielschneider. THE BLOTTER As a source of income to the student-body fund the Blotter plays a big part. As a source of informa- tion and amusement the Blotter plays a still bigger part. Harold Mangum and Arden Pangborn, two former Commerce students, sensed the need of a school paper and in the fall of 1922 organized the Blotter. Since then our weekly has grown from a four-page to an eight-page paper. The most not- able changes that have taken place since its inception are improvements in features, style, and arrange- ment. The Blotter has done much to create interest in student body activities among the students. Much publicity is given to most enterprises. As a result a larger attendance at athletic games is secured and more interest is taken in minor projects. Somebody asked, What would a large city do without a newspaper? We can ask the same thing. What would Commerce do without a BLOT- TER?

They ' ve worked very hard And won a big cup. Forty THE LEDGER GIRLS ' BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL The year of 1925 marked a new era in the af- fairs of girls in the High School of Commerce. Everyone who attended the ba sketball and baseball games feels that the girls at Commerce are de- serving of the best that can be had to further the direction of their vigorous spirits. Who ever said that girls aren ' t good sports? If these groups could be criticised it would doubtless be on the grounds of losing time in the business of politeness. These games were not rough or noisy ones either. The spirit of those looking on was that of pride in their girls. Such, too, was the attitude of the Commerce young men of athletic distinction. And who is responsible for this? That is the story of a big interest on the part of the Dean, Mrs. Wade, who personally gave a splendid trophy to the winner in basketball. The Go-Getters were the lucky team. The upper-classmen won the base- ball tournament. In Miss Connor and Mrs. Bradford, Mr. Elton gave the girls two teachers who had a real zeal for getting something for and out of the girls. They knew how to do things, and they did them. There was lots of coaching to be done with girls who were new at basketball and baseball, and while no one yet has heard Miss Davis, Miss Black, Miss Newell, Miss Maclean, Miss Wight, Miss Thomp- son, Miss Cameron, Miss Belat, or Miss Hopkins mention the hard work they did, we know what it meant. Those who sponsored this movement for the girls deserve much credit and consideration. Girls of high school age cannot realize how great is a teach- er ' s temptation to lock the door at the end of a full day, and take the air — or rush home to quiet and relaxation ; nor do they understand that some sort of pastime enjoyable to that teacher is necessary to better teaching, but a few older heads on the side- lines can and should point out to the students what it means for the ones who are constantly giving of themselves and their time for a better all-around development of our students. Track The reconstruction of Duniway Park put Com- merce in the orphan class as far as track is con- cerned. More lead was poured into the wing- footed shoes of track aspirants when conflicting practice hours prevented the use of the Lincoln track. The same held true at the Reservoir because of girls ' baseball. Undaunted by these drawbacks, Captain Low, Norman Fones, Morris Kane, and Harold Haines, developed themselves into a relay team that gave the other schools a real chase. January ' 26 Class The January ' 26 class now functions as an active organization. Mr. E. O. Allen is adviser and the officers are as follows: Earl Henry, president: Orville Buckner, vice-president ; Joe Pigney, secre- tary ; Thelma Stewart , sergeant-at-arms ; and Sieg- fried Rosen, editor. The class is composed of 52 members. It is the endeavor of this organization to fulfill all its desires of achievement, and round out a four-year session with a memorable and befitting close. Tennis Tennis is beginning to flourish at Commerce. This year saw the largest turnout for this sport that Commerce ever had. After a month of hard training, a round robin was played in order to decide who should represent Commerce. Thelma Stewart was elected captain of the girls, and Glenn Martin captain of the boys. THE LEDGER [Forty-one Commerce, it has been discovered, continues to do commendable work along another line, and that is in the amount of self-supporting students it has. Commerconians have earned over $30,000 during the last year, the majority of this being used to pay school expenses. A great many are making use of their typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand ability; but there are others whose talents vary from being caddies, movie operators, and paper carriers to ushers, clerks, and inspectors of paper routes. The statement that modern girls make poor housekeep- ers is disproved by the fact that the greater num- ber of girls who are earning money do so by car- ing for children or doing household work, there being eighty girls who are earning room and board, besides paying school expenses. Besides working during the school term, a great many are planning to join the troop that starts at nine and quits at six this summer. Others are planning extensive trips — to the East, the South, Canada, Alaska, and even to China. The lure of Hollywood, or perhaps it is the famous Golden Gate, seems to be drawing a good number of students to California. Others, after that much-sought-for coat of tan, are going to spend their two months at the beach. There are still oth- ers who, wanting to get away from this bustling, noisy city, are going to learn to be farmers in the calm, serene, quiet of the country. If the Ledger were one of those seers that seems to prevail around the graduating class on class-day, it would, with convincing enthusiasm, predict an enjoyable vacation to all and for all. But as it is only normal it can only sincerely wish you all the most happy vacation you ever had.

Poor Silas had nervous pros- tration. He cast himself at the mock devil ' s feet and implored, sobbed, choked, and prayed. ' oung Pluto ' s hand rose to cover the smile that flickered on her face. She cleared her voice and went on, To show that I am merciful to the poor devils on earth, I will let you go, providing you will give me that pie in the oven and those five chickens in your pen. The coon rose to his feet sounding praises to heaven and set upon his task. He put the chickens in a sack and the pie in a basket and gave it to our amateur devil who said, Now, you go in that closet, for I am going to disappear in a flame of fire, and any mortal who gazes on it will be blinded forever. Now ijo! The negro needed no second bidding. Muffling her laugh with her red flannel sleeve, the young rogue ran to her companions. The chickens were returned to their old pen for a good night ' s roosting. Mary Shannon never knew who took the chickens, who returned them, or why there was one missing. In the rendezvous of the G. O. of D. D. of H. V. the sainth ' devil was dishing out the pie to her companions. The pie eating chorus began. CHOWN HARDWARE CO.
